Well, just South of Santa Rosa and off 101 in Windsor is Chubby's Diner. They specialize in HUGE breakfasts with the best chicken fried steak and sausage gravy. I'm hungry just thinking about Chubby's!

Have you tried Arrigoni's on fourth street. Great pancakes and & walnut bread french toast. Also a new small road side diner opened between Sebastopol and the turn off to Freestone on Bodega Highway called Two Crows. Small menu, largely family run. Very cute and food is good.
